Interesting looking site.
I found this game programming toolkit from MIT similar to how NXTs program and
perhaps a good way for teams to practice their programming skills without a NXT
handy.
http://scratch.mit.edu – I made
a few video tutorials about how easy it is to use:

It’s not NXT, but it conveys the logic like NXT IMHO and kids
can play with it at home without needing a NXT kit. It supports movement, direction
change, bump sensing, etc. It’s all in the context of making games, but many
of the programming logic is set up almost identical.
